00:00of people's color or the language their grandmother speaks.

00:03We all have the same dreams and aspirations

00:06and want a president who invests in those,

00:09not in hate and division.

00:11She is Biden.

00:12You know, she's trying to get away from Biden.

00:14I don't know the gentleman, she says.

00:16She is Biden.

00:17The worst inflation we've ever had,

00:20a horrible economy because inflation has made it so bad.

00:24Who took out a full-page ad in the New York Times

00:28calling for the execution of five young black

00:33and Latino boys who were innocent,

00:36the Central Park Five?

00:38I think it's, I mean, honestly, I think it's a tragedy

00:42that we have someone who wants to be president

00:46who has consistently, over the course of his career,

00:50attempted to use race to divide the American people.

00:54You know, I do believe that the vast majority of us

00:56know that we have so much more in common

00:58than what separates us, and we don't want

01:00this kind of approach that is just constantly

01:02trying to divide us, and especially by race.

01:05And let's remember how Donald Trump started.

01:08He was a land, he owned land, he owned buildings,

01:15and he was investigated because he refused

01:19to rent property to black families.

01:23Let's remember, this is the same individual

01:26who took out a full-page ad in the New York Times

01:30calling for the execution of five young black

01:35and Latino boys who were innocent,

01:37the Central Park Five, took out a full-page ad

01:42calling for their execution.

01:44This is the same individual who spread birther lies

01:48about the first black president of the United States.

01:52And I think the American people want better

01:56than that, want better than this.

01:59Want someone who understands, as I do,

02:01I travel our country.

02:03We see in each other a friend,

02:06we see in each other a neighbor.

02:09We don't want a leader who is constantly

02:12trying to have Americans point their fingers at each other.

02:16I meet with people all the time who tell me,

02:20can we please just have discourse about

02:24how we're going to invest in the aspirations

02:26and the ambitions and the dreams of the American people,

02:30knowing that regardless of people's color

02:32or the language their grandmother speaks,

02:34we all have the same dreams and aspirations

02:37and want a president who invests in those,

02:40not in hate and division.

02:42Vice President Harris, thank you.

02:43Lindsey.

02:44President Trump, this is now your third time.

02:47This is the most divisive presidency

02:51in the history of our country.

02:53There's never been anything like it.

02:54They're destroying our country,

02:56and they come up with things like what she just said.

03:01Going back many, many years, when a lot of people,

03:03including Mayor Bloomberg, agreed with me

03:05on the Central Park Five, they admitted,

03:07they said, they pled guilty.

03:10And I said, well, if they pled guilty,

03:12they'd badly hurt a person, killed a person, ultimately.

03:15And if they pled guilty, then they pled, we're not guilty.

03:19But this is a person that has to stretch back

03:22years, 40, 50 years ago, because there's nothing now.

03:26I built one of the greatest economies

03:28in the history of the world,

03:30and I'm gonna build it again.

03:31It's gonna be bigger, better, and stronger.

03:34But they're destroying our economy.

03:36They have no idea what a good economy is.

03:38Their oil policies, every single policy.

03:41And remember this, she is Biden.

03:44You know, she's trying to get away from Biden.

03:46I don't know the gentleman, she says.

03:48She is Biden.

03:49The worst inflation we've ever had, a horrible economy,

03:53because inflation has made it so bad

03:57that you can't get away with that.

03:58Thank you, your time is up.

03:59I wanna respond to that, though.

04:00I wanna just respond briefly.

04:03Clearly, I am not Joe Biden,

04:06and I am certainly not Donald Trump.

04:09And what I do offer is a new generation

04:11of leadership for our country.

04:13One who believes in what is possible.

04:16One who brings a sense of optimism

04:20about what we can do,

04:21instead of always disparaging the American people.

04:25I believe in what we can do

04:27to strengthen our small businesses,

04:30which is why I have a plan.

04:32Let's talk about our plans, and let's compare the plans.

04:37I have a plan to give startup businesses

04:41$50,000 tax deduction to pursue their ambitions,

04:46their innovation, their ideas, their hard work.

04:50I have a plan, $6,000 for young families

04:53for the first year of your child's life,

04:55to help you in that most critical stage

04:58of your child's development.

04:59I have a plan that is about allowing people

05:03to be able to pursue what has been fleeting

05:06in terms of the American dream

05:07by offering help with down payment

05:10of $25,000 down payment assistance

05:13for first-time home buyers.

05:15That's the kind of conversation, I believe, David,

05:18that people really want tonight,

05:20as opposed to a conversation that is constantly

05:23about belittling and name-calling.

05:26Let's turn the page and move forward.

05:29Thank you, let's turn to policy.

05:30President Trump, we have to move on.

05:32President Trump.

05:33Let's turn to policy, please.

05:34She has a plan to defund the police.

05:37She has a plan to confiscate everybody's gun.

05:40President Trump, we do have to move on to other issues.

05:41She has a plan to not allow fracking

05:44in Pennsylvania or anywhere else.

05:46Okay, thank you, Mr. President.

05:46Her plan is until just recently.

05:48I just need to respond.

05:49Lindsey, go ahead.

05:50President Trump, President Trump.

05:51The former president has said something twice

05:52that I need to respond to.

05:53No, I'm sorry, we're gonna move on,

05:55Vice President Harris.

05:56I just need to respond one time

05:56to what he has said multiple times.

05:57President Trump, this is now your third time

05:58running for president.

05:59You have long vowed to repeal and replace

06:02the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

06:04You have failed to accomplish that.

06:06You now say you're gonna keep Obamacare,

06:08quote, unless we can do something much better.

06:11Last month, you said, quote, we're working on it.

06:13So tonight, nine years after you first started

06:17running, do you have a plan and can you tell us

06:19what it is?

06:20Obamacare was lousy healthcare, always was.

06:23It's not very good today.

06:24And what I said, that if we come up with something

06:27and we are working on things, we're gonna do it

06:29and we're gonna replace it.

06:30But remember this, I inherited Obamacare

06:33because Democrats wouldn't change it.

06:36They wouldn't vote for it.

06:37They were unanimous.

06:38They wouldn't vote to change it.

06:40If they would have done that, we would have had

06:41a much better plan than Obamacare.

06:44But the Democrats came up, they wouldn't vote for it.

06:47I had a choice to make when I was president.

06:49Do I save it and make it as good as it can be,

06:52never gonna be great, or do I let it rot?

06:55And I felt I had an obligation, even though politically

06:58it would have been good to just let it rot

07:00and let it go away.

07:02I decided and I told my people, the top people,

07:04and they're very good people.

07:05I have a lot of good people in that administration.

07:08We read about the bad ones.

07:09We had some real bad ones too, and so do they.

07:12They have really bad ones.

07:13The difference is they don't get rid of them.

07:14But let me just explain.

07:16I had a choice to make.

07:17Do I save it and make it as good as it can be,

07:20or do I let it rot?

07:22And I saved it.

07:23I did the right thing.

07:24But it's still never going to be great,

07:27and it's too expensive for people.

07:29And what we will do is we're looking at different plans.

07:33If we can come up with a plan that's gonna cost

07:35our people, our population, less money,

07:38and be better healthcare than Obamacare,

07:41then I would absolutely do it.

07:43But until then, I'd run it as good as it can be run.

07:46So just a yes or no, you still do not have a plan.

07:49I have concepts of a plan.

07:51I'm not president right now.

07:53But if we come up with something,

07:56I would only change it if we come up with something

07:58that's better and less expensive.

08:00And there are concepts and options we have to do that,

08:04and you'll be hearing about it in the not too distant future.

08:07Vice President Harris, in 2017,

08:09you supported Bernie Sanders' proposal

08:11to do away with private insurance

08:13and create a government-run healthcare system.

08:15Two years later, you proposed a plan

08:16that included a private insurance.
